Crow Medicine Bag

I created this bag for my Mother's 60th birthday, the Crow is her birth and Ancestral Totem but I equally liked the interplay of it being her Croning (Crow-ning) year, so I felt like an appropriate gift. It took me nearly a year to make this particular bag, some of that arose due to problems sourcing the materials and beads that I wanted but also because I found the energy of my Ancestral line quite overwhelming at times.

I am about to begin a bag for my God Daughter's first Birthday, which gives me only a month to complete it. I thought I would Blog it as a work in progress, to show how each bag is put together, and how it develops week by week.
